Description

The Digital Mothership is landing at ACMI X and our friends from Pause Fest are joining us!

Grab some snacks, a comfy seat and chill for a fireside chat with Founder and Managing Partner of Adventure Capital - Stuart Richardson.

Besides Stuart's remarkable achievements in the startup and venture capital space, there is a monumental message he and the Adventure Capital team want to share - let's focus on Melbourne's strengths to keep innovating. Simple.

One fireside chat at a time, we hope to encourage a national movement to change the perception of VC's in Australia as accessible and collaborative.

SOMETHING VENTURED uncovers the ups and downs of some of the greatest companies of the twentieth century (think Apple, Intel, Atari, Google, Cisco and more) and the hidden dramas behind the most famous names in business.

It profiles a 'rat pack' of entrepreneurs and investors who built companies that led to the birth of biotechnology and the spectacular growth in microprocessors, personal computers and the web.
